Pikelets: Tots Through Time (early years sessions)

Pikelets: Tots Through Time is The Commandery’s first early years programme designed to encourage little ones to explore, play and learn.

Each week, the session will take place in a new area of the museum and gardens, with the activities tailored to the space. Be a shape detective in the Great Hall, join in a tea party in the Georgian rooms, take part in sensory scavenger hunts in the beautiful walled gardens and much more. 🌻

Pikelets: Tots Through Time has been carefully designed for crawlers to pre-school children, with fun activities each week to help develop fine motor skills, counting, play-based learning and creative thinking – all within The Commandery’s unique museum setting.

“We’ve really enjoyed the sessions we’ve been to, the activities are always really well thought out.” – Pikelets attendee, January 2026.

Sessions end with drink, biscuit and a story.

Facilities include a baby change, lift access, and onsite café Little Al’s at The Commandery, all in a convenient city centre location (WR1 2HU) with parking nearby.

£5 per child (£2.50 per additional sibling).

If you wish to visit the museum after the session, you can enjoy a 50% discount on day admission (£4.50 for adult day ticket instead of £9).
